Just recently replaced the vacuum tubing from the N75 solenoid to the turbo
actuator thanks to the helpful (Diagnosing and Fixing Limp mode for A4 1.9TDI)
thread. The tubing I used was purchased at a local auto parts store(Armor
Mark/7/64 in. vacuum hose), a rubber hose. One week later I was experiencing
the same Limp Mode symptoms. Today I found the new tubing sheared in half
again about 18 inches from the actuator. This does look more like a windshield
washer tubing. Is the problem that I am not using the correct tubing?
Searching for a better tubing I have found this site:

Just wondering if anyone has had any similar experience with this issue. I did
temporarily fix the "Limp Mode" issue by using a inline connector. With the
tubing hooked up, I can hear the turbo "whine". When disconnected, there is
no turbo "whine" and the engine power is greatly diminished. Thank you...Carl
